Form I-9 is only two pages, but it is notoriously hard to get right. In an ICE inspection, it doesn't matter whether every employee is authorized to work. What counts is whether each form was completed correctly.
ICE has stepped up inspections and raised fines for incorrect forms, with amounts per form depending on the error rate and audit history, and criminal charges are possible. Past penalties include $109,000 against a Buffalo transportation company for missing Section 2 entries and $95 million against Asplundh.
This 90-minute I-9 compliance training covers using the correct form, timeliness, electronic recordkeeping, temporary work authorization follow-up, E-Verify vs I-9 recordkeeping, remote employees, retention and how to run your own I-9 audit.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND?
The form looks complicated, but compliance is manageable once the confusion is removed. Few employers get everything right, and fines add up form by form.
This session suits HR professionals, payroll administrators, people who maintain personnel files and anyone responsible for new employee sign-up, orientation and onboarding.
